If I choose to stay home, I might be criticized by my modern friends who are asking me why I'm not contributing to the family income. In a modern society, a stay-at-home mother isn't thought of as highly as someone who works. My mom quit her job when I was 12, and some of her friends started believing that she wasn't as up-to-date as they were about the industry she was in (technology) because she was no longer at the office.
